In 2011, JetBrains announced the development of the Kotlin programming language, an alternative to writing code in languages like Java or Scala to run on the Java Virtual Machine. Six years later, Google announced that Kotlin would be an officially supported development path for the Android operating system.
Kotlins scope quickly grew from a language with a bright future into the language powering applications on the worlds foremost mobile operating system. Today, large companies like Google, Uber, Netflix, Capital One, Amazon, and more have embraced Kotlin for its many advantages, including its concise syntax, modern features, and seamless interoperability with legacy Java code.
To understand the appeal of Kotlin, you first need to understand the role of Java in the modern software development landscape. The two languages are closely tied, because Kotlin code is most often written for the Java Virtual Machine.
Java is a robust and time-tested language and has been one of the most commonly written languages in production codebases for years. However, since Java was released in 1995, much has been learned about what makes for a good programming language. Java is missing the many advancements that developers working with more modern languages enjoy.
Kotlin benefits from the learning gained as some design decisions made in Java (and other languages, like Scala) have aged poorly. It has evolved beyond what was possible with older languages and has corrected what was painful about them. You will learn more in the coming chapters about how Kotlin improves on Java and offers a more reliable development experience.
And Kotlin is not just a better language to write code to run on the Java Virtual Machine. It is a multiplatform language that aims to be general purpose: Kotlin can be used to write native macOS, iOS, and Windows applications; JavaScript applications; and, of course, Android applications. Recently, JetBrains has been investing in these cross-platform capabilities; Kotlin Multiplatform offers a unique way to share code across applications and has led to an increase in Kotlins use beyond the Java Virtual Machine.
We have written this book for developers of all kinds: experienced Android developers who want modern features beyond what Java offers, server-side developers interested in learning about Kotlins features, developers looking to share Kotlin code between their native or web apps, and newer developers looking to venture into a high-performance compiled language.
